  How to Select the Right Pump for Your Needs When it comes to choosing the right pump for your application, you must ask a few questions first. ·         Which media or fluid do you need to transfer? ·         What is the total size of your operations? ·         What is the maximum pressure the pump may need to handle? ·         What is the temperature range within which the pump needs to operate? It is equally important not to get confused with the large number of pump choices available in the market. Based on your application's specifications, a compatible pump needs to be selected. Below are a few criteria to check before zeroing in on a pump: ·         The required flow rate of the fluid o    The volume of fluid to be pumped is an essential factor to be considered before buying a p...

  API 675 Metering Pumps: A Comprehensive Overview API stands for the American Petroleum Institute. And the API 675 standard is set to measure positive displacement pumps used in the petroleum, petrochemical and gas industries. This means that API 675-approved pumps meet the strictest performance and reliability standards. API 675 mandates several things, such as mechanical integrity, which means the compliant pumps go through several rounds of pressure testing and checks to ensure they can withstand harsh and challenging operating conditions. These pumps also go through flow accuracy testing to ensure absolute precision. Materials used in the construction of the pump also need to meet specific criteria to ensure their chemical and physical compatibility with various fluids. A metering pump is a type of positive displacement pump that delivers liquid in precise amounts. Besides oil and gas, metering pumps can be used for a range of applications such as: ·    ...

How to Choose the Right Diaphragm Metering Pump for Your Needs Metering pumps are important to the upstream oil and gas industry as they are responsible for precisely injecting flow assurance chemicals like methanol, monoethylene glycol, and corrosion inhibitors into wells. If the delivery of these vital chemicals falters, well production can grind to a halt. While metering pumps might look like small components on an upstream platform, make no mistake: they are essential. To give you an analogy, their role is as important as that of a rivet on an aeroplane wing—if they fail, the entire operation is at risk. Therefore, choosing the right chemical metering pump is crucial. Since a variety of pumps are available in the market, one must research and consider all important factors before the final selection. Read on to learn more about these factors. Flow rate – First and foremost, it is crucial that the pump delivers an adequate flow rate, meaning it should be correctly sized for th...
